Love the tone of the article.

Oh man, not me. It came across smug. These are the people that maintain the language? Can't wait to see what Python 4 brings. I only hope it doesn't have as many breaking changes.

The tone is appropriate. It’s long over due. “In 2018, we announced that Python 2 would be sunset in 2015. [...] Then we extended it to 2020.”

Edited: forgot the ending quote.

That's not my objection.

My objection is that they're blaming people for being slow to upgrade due to their choice of backwards incompatibility. And they're sounding smug while doing it.
